"Getting pool service in. Chicago is hard, so with Matthew does pools we thought we got lucky. How wrong we were. He was going to vaccuum and set up our pool filter. he arrived 3 hours early and started work in the pouring rain. He had this vacuum which poured water into my yard . The water reached over to our neighbors. Flooded about a 1/4 of their yard. I asked why didn't he put a hose out to the alley. We'll he got upset and found a hose. To little to late. I had already be known I did not like his service. He said I needed an o ring for the filter. Bought it from him. The filter is leaking even more than before he replaced it. He left the pool half empty. Than he tried to sell me stabilizer and other chemicals. 275. 00 later, pool still needs work, is not open or ready to swim and the pool filter he claims he fixed leaking water more than before."

Four Seasons Carpentry is a professional, licensed, and bonded carpenter. Satisfaction is guaranteed. Free estimates are provided upon request.
"This is the only guy I would hire for decking and such. He tore off an existing deck and rebuilt with an additional 3 season room in 2003. We needed alot of repairs done in 2019, due to material failure. Not the responsibility of Four Seasons, that material is what was available in 2003. We received quotes from 8 area contractors. Holy moly, what a line of b.s. we got from them. We received bids from $500.00 to $9000.00 and no commitment what was to be done. It was plain to see most of the others did not know what they were doing. Reluctant to call Tom because he is far from us. To my surprise, he was over and gave us a great price and perfect workmanship! An honest and hardworking man. Happy we found him."

Replacing a pool heater costs $3,000 on average. Final pricing depends on the type of heater (gas, electric, or solar) and your pool's size. Factor for swimming pool repair costs, at an average of $3,800. When you start experiencing issues with your pool heater, other equipment and structural failures often follow. Installation is often the least expensive for electric and gas heaters. Heat pumps and solar panels often cost several thousand dollars more to install.
A pool heater’s lifespan is determined by its type and proper upkeep. Solar heaters last 20 to 25 years, electric heat pumps perform for five to 10 years, and gas heaters remain effective for 5 years. Regular pool maintenance safeguards performance and prevents premature failure. Ensuring that you adhere to a strict annual service schedule protects your investment and maintains consistent heating efficiency.
Depending on the size of your pool, location, climate, and current energy prices, you’ll spend up to $20 per hour to heat a pool using propane, $9 per hour using natural gas, and $1 to $2 per hour for a heat pump. Northern climates require more energy and can double the price. Standard estimates allow homeowners to easily estimate the cost of heating a pool for a month. Propane heaters, for example, are known to burn around 1 gallon per hour per 100,000 BTUs.
An electric or gas heat pump will take eight to 14 hours to heat a pool, while a solar heat pump takes 24 to 72 hours. Multiply the number of gallons by 8.34 to get your total pounds of water. Divide this figure by your heater's BTU rating to determine how many hours it takes to raise the water temperature by 1 degree Fahrenheit.
If your pool heater is not raising the water temperature to the desired level, the issue is caused by cold ambient conditions rather than a malfunction. The best solution is to install a solar cover that locks in heat and boosts efficiency. A solar cover costing $120 to $250 enhances heat retention, ensuring your heater performs at its peak. Additionally, verify that all settings—such as thermostat calibration and water circulation—are properly adjusted to support optimal heating.
Regular annual maintenance is crucial to keep your pool heater running efficiently and to avoid high repair costs. Investing $100 to $200 in yearly maintenance prevents issues such as excessive noise, surging energy bills, and malfunctioning controls. This proactive care not only prolongs your heater’s lifespan but also ensures reliable performance throughout the season. Always refer to your warranty guidelines to follow the required maintenance procedures.
